The community has a choice as to whether ebooks follow the business model of many ejournals. <br /> <br /> Thank you to Scott for mentioning LOCKSS, which is working with ebooks. <br /> <br /> Please see<br /> http://www.appi.org/book.cfm?id=PLC<br /> <br /> "What assurances do you offer that institutional purchasers of the Psychiatry Legacy Collection will have perpetual access to the archived material once they have paid their one-time fee?"<br /> <br /> "We make the Psychiatry Legacy Collection (and all of our online journal and book content) available for archiving via LOCKSS (click here for more information about LOCKSS). The LOCKSS program allows institutional participants to store a backup copy of our content on a library-installed LOCKSS server. We chose LOCKSS as a persistent access preservation system in the event that APPI is unable to continue providing online access because of their commitment to preservation of digital information."<br /> <br /> I agree with Peter discussion is needed; action is needed.
